ICOM IC-208H Mod's

ok guys ive found the mod for the radio, is there any1 from brisbane that can do it?

Hi Rob,

Firstly the IC-208H is an Amateur Transmitter and you will need an Amateur Licence to use it.

It is a VHF/UHF transmitter and once modified (You can do it yourself as it takes about 10 mins) you will be able to transmit on the UHF CB Band.

The mod is only a matter of desoldering one leg of two Resistors (not Diodes) and lifting them from the bottom of main PCB and resetting the CPU

Cheers P&J

yea i realised it was 2 resisters when i found the diagram, and you dont need a ameteur lic to use the radio, you only need one to transmit on the ameteur frequencies which i will be obtaining very shortly, and as for programming it by hand its very easy and doesnt take long at all, ive programmed all the channel for UHF CB i want to transmit on and all of the ameteur frequencies for QLD.

also should i be able to do it by eye or will i need a mag glass? they are pretty tiny compared to the diagram

ok guys the mod is done, just did it myself, and its tested and works, thanks for any help

cheers mate, just a matter of gettin this book from a friend and studying and then sitting the test, from 1 - 31 which channel are you usually heard on mate and whats your call sign?

cheers Rob
